In Section 1 of the IELTS Listening test, you will usually need to focus on

a person who wants to find out information from another person.


It is important to know what the person wants to find out. Very often, the
task you need to do will involve completing the information that the
person receives.

In Section 1 of the IELTS Listening test, you might hear people


explaining what they want, or what they want other people to do.
It’s important to understand when a speaker is signalling an explanation.
This will help you to focus on what the speaker is trying to find out.
We can use because, so that, in order to and the reason … with phrases
which include verbs. We use results in and because of with phrases
which include nouns.
 Read the gapped notes quickly to see what the context is likely to
be.
 Quickly identify what the key words are around each gapped note,
for example, sealed bags, Chief Ranger. The speakers are likely to say
(or paraphrase) these key words.
 Listen to the conversation, and pay attention to how the speakers
give explanations.
 Write down one word in each gap, while you are listening.
 After listening, go back and check what you wrote. Did you write
only one word in each gap? Does it make sense in the sentence? Is the
spelling correct? Have you used singular/plural words correctly?

In Section 1 of the IELTS Listening test, you might need to label a map.
It’s important to familiarise yourself with the important features on a map
before you listen. This will help you to follow the directions or information
the speaker is giving. 

Listen again and complete the explanations of how to get around


Redcliffs Island.
 Look quickly at the map and identify any features that might be
useful. If something is already clearly identified on a map, such as the
Information Centre, or the Old Railway Line, then the speaker will
definitely refer to it.
 The speaker will go through the five things you need to label in
order.
 As the speaker is talking about each thing, follow the directions,
using the features on the map to help you.
 Choose the best letter for each thing on the map you need to label.
